Anyone got any information and pictures of GT-R's that have competed at Pikes Peak? This is some of the info i found on wikipedia:

"Akira Kameyama has taken the GT-R to the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb race on three occasion winning in each Open Class for production cars he entered, one in 1993 with the R32, another in 1996 with the R33 and again in 1998. For the following year, Rhys Millen took a R33 Skyline GT-R to win the High Performance Showroom Stock category"

Apparently they broke a few records, but i cant find any information on what records were broken etc. I have found a couple of pictures but if anyone has anymore i would love to see them. One pic is of the R33 that Akira Kameyama drove and the other is of the Top Secret 350Z complete with RB26dett and GT-R AWD.

The RB26DETT & ATTESSA equipped 350Z is prepped by Zele, a race team that has Nissan support.

The car's featured in a BMI video, where they go about speculating about the next GT-R.

Would love some wallpaper-sized shots of the GT-R or 350Z going around Pike's Peak, especially in the top part where there's no trees.

Pikes Peak "Race to the Clouds" is a hill climb event based in Colorado in the U.S. more info here:

For some reason I have just become Pines Peak inclined.. (get it!) :)

I think Toyota (Celica 4WD/GT4) has helds a 13 year record at 10:04, driven by Rod Millen... Suzuki's Pines Peak Grand Vitara driven by Nobuhiro 'Monster' Tajima did it in 10:07

    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
    • Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?
    • Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
